Day 31: Final Day of the Clutter-Busting Challenge!

   

So far, we our home is 662 items thinner. How much will we round-up today to finish this Clutter-Busting Challenge? Stay tuned....

 

This morning I pulled aside 30 VHS tapes.

 

I love cassette and VHS tapes. I think my generation is the last to have grown up in the era of tapes. I love them! They don't get scratched or skip and they last forever. I've wanted to part with all our tapes along time ago but library DVD versions are usually scratched (libraries don't have tapes anymore!) and they aren't on Redbox or Youtube. Solution: Donate to the Community Room. Like our dominoes, we can share these tapes there but always have access to them.

30 VHS tapes for the Community Room

Well, I didn't get any more stuff cleared out like I hoped. We went to the pool instead then did the Martin's Kool-Aid deal to get $1 off gas and Target for the cereal deal. Then I made baking mixes and watched part of Time Cop 2 on youtube. This is what makes Clutter-Busting a challenge for me!

But we did get rid of 692 items in May! I could not have done that without the motivation from the Clutter-Busting Challenge.
